As a result, we were able to improve efficiency, as well as per person productivity. Also, at the same time, in consideration of the market changes and the changes in the customers’ purchase patterns and the usage patterns when it comes to the services that we offer, we have been able to further upgrade or make more sophisticated our overall structure in terms of distribution, which is helping us further improve efficiency. So, regarding a profit outlook or the earnings outlook for the second half of the year, we believe that there will still persist to be inflationary pressures as well as increases in the cost basis. However, we will continue to endeavor to further improve our top-line revenue and profitability. And our plan, hence, is to bring about a year-over-year OP growth.
Seung-Hoon Chi: [Foreign Language] [Interpreted] We’ll take the next question, please.
Operator: [Foreign Language] The next question will be presented Sean Lee from Citigroup. Please go ahead with your question.
Sean Lee: [Foreign Language] [Interpreted] Thank you for taking my question. I would also like to ask two questions. You announced last Friday that you — the company has selected the final candidate for the new incoming CEO. Can you shed some light as to the background of appointing the new CEO? Also, does the company have a plan to have a communication session with the investors so that he — the new incoming CEO can explain and elaborate on the business plan that he is currently envisioning? And if so, when will that timing be? Second question has to do with your dividend plan. Your first half net profit is quite good, attractive. I would like to understand under the new executives of the company, would you be able to continue on with the dividend plan that the KT was able to stick to over the years?
Young-Jin Kim: [Foreign Language] [Interpreted] Thank you, Mr. Lee, for your question. Yes, allow me to first tackle your first question regarding the CEO candidate, the background under which he was appointed, the business plan that he would be envisioning and also any plans that we have to hold a session with him and the investors. So, as you would already appreciate, KT’s Director Candidate Recommendation Committee has selected a total of three potential candidates and went through a very in-depth interview and have decided and selected the one final candidate to be the CEO of the company. And hence, the BoD on the August 4 have decided on Young-shub Kim, the former LG CNS President to be the new incoming CEO of KT. We will go through an EGM at the end of August to gain approval from our shareholders.
Just to elaborate a little more, maybe the BoD has determined that he would be the best fit and the right person to make KT into a global digital platform-based company in light of his extensive corporate business management experiences and his expertise in ICT and digital transformation and his focus on fundamental-centric growth and innovation. Also to note, the incoming CEO, Young-shub Kim is a finance expert. He served as the CFO of LG Plus and LG CNS, and he was a CEO that served as the CEO of LG CNS for the longest term and he is a person that is well equipped with ICT and business management expertise. And also the incoming CEO, when he was serving as the CEO of LG CNS, he was also the Director of Business unit. I think BoD, through the very in-depth interviews, was able to identify that he was capable as a person equipped with ICT expertise, as a person who would be able to lead the digital innovation ecosystem.
